The day was a busy one for the JLR.

Britannica showed his brother Phil, the Southern Cross, around the estate…

The JLR finally convinced Phil to keep Blue in The Barn of Justice (Headquarters of JLR – TASK Force). Much to the dismay of Napolean, Esmeralda, Peter – The Amazing Spider Monkey, Sparky, the Thundercat. Hoppy, the Marvel Bunny didn't give a toss.

Hoppy: You drool on me dog-breath and you're gonna be sniffing ya own butt.

Cowgirl Jack and Di Bat Pho triumphantly returned from their shopping expedition.

Phil and DBP finally met, and he was also quite taken with Cowgirl Jack…

And according to the minutes, the JLR monthly meeting was very productive.

Though the JLR did run out of hot water…
Ace: Eeeeeek!
Wed: [showering for the 20th time, trying to remove Blue's drool] Must…be…clean…

Later in the early evening, we find La Machine’s alter-ego, Donal Thoms-Cappello, on monitor duty. OK he’s watching cable…

David (Ace’s alter-ego): [Wearing a casual suit, with an open shirt. He is a slight tinge of blue and slightly shivering] H-h-hey bud. W-w-what you w-w-watching?

Donal (LM): [absently points at the screen, without looking at his friend] It’s that “Superheroes Tonight” show Brit was telling us about earlier…

David (Ace): R-r-really? M-m-move over. [David sits down next to Donal and watches too]

Bob, from Superheroes Tonight: That’s right Mary, love is in the air over at Penultimate MBL HQ – or is it? Their time-travelling robot, The Time Trust, has just made the following announcement….

The screen image changes to The Time Trust, the futuristic time-travelling android member of the MBL.

TTT: First of all, I would like to clarify. I am an android - not a robot. Secondly, I would once and for all like to quash the rumours that have been circulating concerning myself, and a certain toaster. They are NOT true.

Definitely not true.

...

Well, maybe a little.

But mostly not true.

...

OK! They're true! I, an android from the future, have had sexual relations with the MBL's kitchen toaster! And it's been going on for months now, unbeknownst to anyone! There! I said it! Don't you know how guilty I feel every time an MBLer has toast for breakfast at the HQ? It would drive me insane if I wasn't such an otherwise rational android. But I can't stop!!!

Dave (Ace) & Donal (LM): Whoa…

Donal (LM): If we ever end up doing that JLR/MBL team-up thingy, remind me not to touch the toast at their HQ…

The image on the screen goes back to Bob, the host.

Bob, from Superheroes Tonight: Well there you have it, Mary. Time will tell if love springs (or at least pops-up) eternal or if this relationship is under limited warranty…

The image switches to the female host of Superheroes Tonight.

Mary, from Superheroes Tonight: Ha Ha Ha, oh that joke was soooo…. lame. But over at the JLR it’s more a case of Holy Matrimony! That’s right, Britannica and Di Bat Pho of the Justice League Reality have announced their marriage details. The wedding will be on December 13 and will be held at Britannica’s secret headquarters in Australia – the Database…

Dave (Ace): W-w-wow! That was q-q-quick…

Donal (LM): [nodding sagely] Like the government, the media know everything…

Mary, from Superheroes Tonight: … it’s going to be the Super wedding of the year, so naturally Superheroes Tonight will have all the footage of the happy couple on their happy day…

Speaking of the happy couple, Britannica’s alter-ego, Stephen Coppins, is looking irritably at his watch. Di Bat Pho is standing next to him by The Front Door of Justice. Di is wearing a traditional Chinese silk dress and a shawl. He hair is tied up (revealing her elvin-like ears) with two hair-sticks holding it in place. Stephen is wearing a black suit, white shirt and his bookcase tie. Brit looks at his watch again…

Stephen (Brit): [Yelling out] Hey CJ! Guys! Are you ready to go yet? JLR ASSEMBLE and all that!

Five minutes later, the JLR’s alteregoes and Phil are assembled at The Front Door of Justice.

It takes 15 minutes to convince Phil that he can’t take Blue.

And another 20 to convince Registered Member #552, that he should really leave his crown behind.

The JLR climb (literally) into Phil’s ute. It is a four-door, 4-wheel drive utility monster truck. It also has the southern cross logo on the front. Stephen (Britannica) helps Di into the back seat, Brian (Midnight Spectre) A. Oritz goes to assist Jaclyn (Cowgirl Jack) Angelo, but Phil pushes in and helps her up instead…

Jaclyn (CJ): Why, thank you Phil.

Phil: No worries, Jaclyn. The pleasure was all mine.

Brian (MS2):…

Brian joins the ladies in the back seat. While David (Ace), Donal (La Machine), King (Registered Member #552) RM552 and Jason (Wednesday) Perkins clamber into the utility tray, Phil hops into the driver’s seat (it is a right hand drive) and Stephen (Britannica) in the front passenger seat.

Another minute later, on the freeway…

Phil: [blowing his horn and leaning out the window] Moron! Why don’t you learn how to drive ya drongo! [turns to his brother] Did I tell ya? I was having a great run with the traffic ’til I hit the US…

Stephen (Brit): Um, Phil. Remember this is America… they drive on the right hand side of the road…

Phil: Oh. Crikey!

*Skreeeech* [Phil quickly turns the wheel and swerves the ute to the right hand side of the road]

JLR alteregos: Aggggggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!

Phil: Sorry ‘bout that. Heh Heh
